Cloning disk to disk
You can change the size of any destination FAT, NTFS, or Linux Ext2/3 partition
by entering the new size in megabytes.
You cannot enter a value that exceeds the available space, is beyond the file
system's limitations, or that is not large enough to contain the data held in
the source partition.
When you clone disk to disk, Ghost.exe copies the contents of one hard disk onto
another.
To clone disk to disk
1
On the Ghost.exe main menu, do one of the following:
Local
Peer-to-peer connection
2
In the Source Drive dialog box, select the source disk.
The Source Drive dialog box shows the details of every disk that Ghost.exe
finds on the local computer.
3
In the Destination Drive dialog box, select the destination disk.
Choose carefully as this is the disk that will be overwritten.
If a peer-to-peer connection method is used, the destination disk can be any
of the slave computer's disks. However, if this is a local disk-to-disk copy,
then the source disk is unavailable for selection.
4
Confirm the destination disk layout.
Warning: The Destination Drive Details dialog box shows a suggested partition
layout for the destination drive once the cloning process is completed. This
partition layout may mirror the source drive layout. Therefore, the destination
drive details appear similar to the source drive.
5
Click OK.
